Sometimes our choices are not the be...... what we should do weighs on what we want yo do..... ... Having to make choices sucks, but when we make the wring choice we should at least learn by our mistakes..........I have no idea what I'm talking about???

I totally get what you're saying!!!!


Like choosing to buy a 2X4 when ya shoulda got a MEGA 36 beer case...

I friggin hate when that happenz

I think you mean sometimes what we want to do overshadows what we should do,


and that there are usually consequences which hopefully help us to learn ,,,,

I said something similar to my daughter today about

the 'norm' vs 'normal'

she was asking if a certain thing was 'normal

and I told her there are alot of things that alot of people do and because so many people do it its called 'normal' when what it really is is 'the norm'

the example I gave is obesity,, obesity is now the 'norm' in america, its what the majority of people are, and so it could be said to be 'normal'

but in reality, although it is the 'norm', it is not at all the 'normal' healthy state for our bodies


its sometimes harder to make the choice to do what is normal/healthy/beneficial when the 'norm' is so much easier or satisfies us so much quicker,,,

Mistakes are OK as long as we learn from them. If we keep committing the same mistakes and never learning, there's an issue there.

I so believe in that, but sometimes a mistake can Haunt you!!!!

Yes, but if you learn from it and learn to forgive yourself, you can find a way to move on from it.

You're absolutely right!!! And even the fact that we are in a postition to MAKE a choice, is a great one... our joy of having remote control over a thing is great, whether we make bad choices or wrong ones.

This is the basic underlying mental - emotional thing behind the video game industry. You buy a game, you manipulate the pieces on the screen via your mouse or keyboard, and each time you get better at it. Much later you can't improve any further, so you buy another game.

This is also partly the reason we enjoy the game of life... from throwing a ball, to telling our sons what to do and what not to do, to being the Chairman, President, and CEO of USA.LTD.

Control... it's not the single solitary biggest one of our sources of joy, but we need it, without it we wither.

For the super-religious, God gave us free will to make us have this joy of control.

For the atheist evolutionarists, control is what separated the animals from trees: We eat moving things, and what started out as a single light-sensing and focusing organ, became our brain, because way back then we had to figure out ways how to intercept the moving food successfully, so we can catch it and eat it.

The biggest solitary reason for successful suicides or total comatose states due to depression are the loss of limbs or the use for the loss of limbs; which is the equivalent of the loss of the most basic controlling, manipulating organs. We can't grab, no food, no touch skin, no playing with self, no nothing. And that is only topped by loss of sight, but mainly in males, between ages 14-24 (when hormone levels in their bodies are running high and they can't see the girls (or boys)).

In all punitive jail situations control is taken away, and that's what hurts, partly.

So you are right on, lady.

I don't make mistakes. I make life lessons

I think we can become a better person by learning from our mistakes sometimes.

Thats a good way to look at it!
